Tailored mentoring for glass artists who want focused support at their own stage, working on their personal projects or learning new more advanced skills and gaining confidence in their practice.

The aim is independence

Mentoring is shaped around you, as your skills and confidence grow you may need less guidance and support. Time, input and pricing can reduce to reflect your growing independence.

Is mentoring right for you?

Many people reach a point in their creative journey where they have completed several workshops or online courses and feel inspired to continue, but are unsure how to move their own ideas forward.

Mentoring suits glass artists who want to move forward with their own work, develop specific skills or overcome challenges with expert support. You set the direction, I'm here to help you make confident progress
